As the focus on the fluctuation in house prices becomes ever more intense, we look at the sheer scale of difference that has been seen in Gloucestershire.

Figures show that in November the difference in house prices varied from a £1.39m home being sold near Cheltenham but a 20 minute drive away and someone snapped up a home for £68,000 in Westbourne Drive in Cheltenham.

The Hazleton home Northolme, near Bourton-on-the-Water, is described by its estate agent Hamptons International as “set amongst some of Gloucestershire’s most beautiful countryside”.

“The house occupies a generous plot of some 4.1 acres and the house itself is well positioned at the head of the driveway offering a good degree of privacy and delightful views towards the heart of the village and church,” the advert reads.
